Welcome to my free coloring pages blog.
Today's new drawing is of an Allosaurus on the Prowl.
Allosaurus on the Prowl
It appears that Allosaurus was the top predator of the late Jurassic Period. It could get up to 40 feet long and its arms were large for grabbing prey... as opposed to T. rex arms that were near useless. Allosaurus fossils have been found extensively in Utah and other Western states of the USA.
Allosaurus had large and powerful jaws, although they were not as strong as a T. rex jaw. But these two animals lived 26 million years apart. T. rex lived around 62-65 million years ago. Allosaurus lived 163.9 million years ago up until 89.3 million years ago. This means that Allosaurs were on the Earth for 74.6 million years ago. That is a LONG time for a species or even for a Genus to survive on Earth. So Allosaurus was a very successful animal.
NOTE: This new drawing can be found, in printable pages, by clicking on the Paleontology button. Then scroll to the bottom of the Mesozoic section. Also, there are several other Allosaurus drawings. However, if you look at my drawings from years ago they are not printable at this time. I am trying to get that problem fixed. Below are some other Allosaur drawings... from older posts.
